LinkTastic

I have been using Del.icio.us more feverishly than usual lately, but have been bad about tagging things appropriately. Instead, I stamp almost everything with an “interesting” tag, and then go back to the list when I have a few minutes, and take a look at whatever it was I didn’t have time to digest in full the first time around. The whole list is here, but some highlights that have caught my attention over the past month or two are…

  • Recipe Matcher – A great idea for a site, and a good guy (he is doing some business with me via my 9-5. This is one of those sites that I hope people use, and as a result, sticks around for a bit. Perfect for the 20 something single crowd that lives off of the local takeout here in Brighton.
  • Requiem For A Rookie Card – As I read this, I felt like it was something I had written. I think nearly every guy my age, who collected cards, still associates Billy Ripken with “fuck face”. If you don’t get that reference, this article isn’t for you. If you smiled as soon as you read that line, check out the link.
  • Fudtz Sign Language – Still the funniest single page on the web in my opinion.
  • Fox 2.0 – Articles like this make me kind of wish I had stayed at FIM. Then again, I would have had to relocate to LA…either way, an interesting read.
  • Old School Companies New Again – This link has been all over the web recently, but worth a look if you haven’t seen it yet. Old school companies get a web 2.0 logo makeover.
  • Girls Gone Wild Founder – Is a giant creep. Not shocking, but kind of a cringe read worth checking out.
  • Time’s Top 50 Coolest Sites – Pretty good list actually. However, given Time’s history, you may want to sell off any investment you have in these companies. It’s kind of like the SI curse.

Panic At The Ballpark

Go on, push it.

I am part of the cult now. Anyone want to buy a Treo 600 for T-Mobile?

A Cingular Rebuttal

Judging by the heinously poor wording, and scatter-shot, non-sensical insults, I can only assume this is a comment from someone who mans one of the Cingular carts in the middle of the local mall. It is a solid effort, but calling someone a “fag”, an “ass hole”, and a “fucking idiot” is a dead giveaway…these are the words of a Cingular employee.

your dumb ass! you should of not left Cingular in the first place. your an idiot for even thinking that a Cingular store would be able to help you. Your just a needy idiot that wants things done. And ofcourse with that attitude no one wants to help you. You are a AT&T refugee, so deal with it. you dont like it… Tough! thats life. Some other company is going to fuck you in the ass no matter what. Remember, money talks, bullshit walks. So before you complain about your own stupidity, you AT&T idiot, check your self before you wreck yourself. People like you get taken advantage everywhere. Cingular is just the first company, sure enough im going to find another website with you complaining about something stupid like… The salvation army and how there prices tear you a new ass hole. fucking idiot. I laugh at fags like you.

Aside from being a general retard, a poor writer, and a bit late to the game (the comment is on a post from nearly a year ago), this person is a complete coward. Whoever left this comment, I am calling you out. You left the name “someone” and the email address “someone@aol.com”, which is very clever, but a pussy move. If you step up and reveal who you are, I will give you an entire post to defend Cingular and state your case as to why I am just a “needy idiot”.

I will be waiting, and checking myself, so as to not risk wrecking myself.
